President Donald Trump appears to have endorsed eugenics during a call in to “The Brian Kilmeade Show” on Friday, telling the Fox News host he believed the country has people in it who are “bad” because “there’s something wrong [with their] genetics.”

“A lot of them were let in here; they shouldn’t have been let in,” Trump said, referring to the perpetrators of a spate of recent attacks, including two men who brought explosives to a far-right protest outside New York City’s mayoral mansion earlier this month.

“Others, they’re just bad, they go bad. Something wrong,” he continued. “There’s something wrong. Their genetics are not exactly… they’re not exactly your genetic. It’s one of those problems, Brian. It’s a terrible thing. And it happens.”

Can we stop with the "appears to?" Trump has been saying eugenics-aligned things forever. He clearly believes he and his family are superior because of their genes, bad people have inferior genes, and that we should promote the superior genes and suppress the inferior ones. This is not some new revelation about him.

During his campaign, Trump said immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our nation". No one can act surprised. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-says-immigrants-are-poisoning-blood-country-biden-campaign-liken-rcna130141

If we are going to start measuring any skulls I want to start with this administration, I predict they will all have similarly freakishly shaped skulls, as long as we are breaking out the classics.

I want a positive vibes based phrenology where every little bump and divot says something ambiguously great about you.
